Yamaha's new XSR900 GP has been confirmed for US availability as a 2027 model through CARB type-approval filings. It packs the 890cc inline-triple making 117 horsepower and 68.5 lb-ft, wrapped in a Legend Yellow livery inspired by Yamaha's 1980s-90s racing colors. Pricing is estimated around $12,300, roughly a 16% premium over the standard XSR900.

Looking at the spec sheet, the 890cc inline-triple still makes 117 horsepower like before, but the seat height went up an inch and they even threw in race-style clip-ons. I didn't expect them to push this hard toward a racer-replica feel compared with the outgoing model. The beta-pin fasteners being a first for a production Yamaha is a small detail, but it still gets my pulse up. That yellow paint is the good part too.

What's the actual benefit of beta-pin fasteners?

Lighter weight and easier maintenance, that's the payoff

Love this kind of '80s livery revival

117hp carried over feels a little underwhelming

Isn't the MT-09 SP way better value?

Legend Yellow is perfect, I want one

Ain't $12,300 kinda steep though?
